Zhu Yao wanted to say something in the post.
She hesitated for a moment, deleted the text she had typed, and added the post to her favorites.
Zhu Yao clicked on the second link, which led to a crowdfunding website.
The moment you click in, a line of large text appears: "This cat dares not promise to do it well, fellow investors please invest with caution!"
The comments below started with "I'm going to throw money around like crazy" and "Yu Miao has never disappointed!"
Later, it was all the same: "You're a scammer, give me my money back!"
The fundraising channel has been shut down; it must have been closed by Yu Nan.
However, the link to the demo is still clickable.
Zhu Yao started downloading the demo. The file was very large, and her slow computer showed that it would take three hours.
Perfect timing, I'll use this time to write. I haven't updated today yet.
…
When writing, Zhu Yao's mind was filled with Yu Nan.
So she simply resurrected the "red-clothed, white-haired tool ghost".

Lin Luo and Mu Han got lost in the villa and were at their wits' end when they heard a woman's voice behind them.
"Hey, human, need me to show you the way?"
It was a large gray cat with black spots, looking like a tabby cat, but its spots resembled those of a leopard.
"Who are you...?" Lin Luo stepped in front of Mu Han, staring warily at the cat that could speak human language.
“Didn’t we just meet?” The cat licked its fur. “I am the owner of this villa. I was turned into a ferocious demon by a group of evil people and I am guarding the entrance to the basement. You just saved me.”
Lin Luo was incredulous. Hadn't her soul vanished into thin air? How could it appear in the form of a cat?!

Chapter 22 Yu Nan's game is garbage
On the other side of the city, on the second floor of a coffee shop.
Two men and two women were slumped on the sofa, as if they had just finished something exhausting.
“Modifying this code is such a hassle…” A man’s eyes were red, as if he hadn’t had a rest in a long time. “Every time I have to launch a big event, I feel like I’m going to die.”
"That's how it is in internet companies—exhausting, but high-paying." Xiao Fang covered his head. "Don't complain in front of me; it makes me tired!"
"Okay, okay, you're my boss."
The man seemed used to being teased by Xiao Fang, and turned to look at another girl, "Is Dao'er going live today?"
"Go!" The girl, who was lying on the table and barely breathing, tapped her phone. "But I'll have to wait for my spiritual nourishment to be updated."
"Reading a novel!" the man began to joke. "I remember you couldn't get into novels, right? What kind of novel is so captivating to you?"
"Isn't it exceptionally well-written!" The man stood up, wanting to lean closer to look at the phone with the razor blade.
The blade snapped the screen shut with a "snap".
"It's not a good article, it's poorly written, and it flopped," Blade said.
"Then why are you still watching?" the man exclaimed in surprise.
The blade showed that Xiao Fang's fist was clenched.
“This author writes in a very interesting way,” Blade explained. “It’s more like writing a game than a novel.”
“Normally, novels avoid piling up a lot of background, frequently changing perspectives, and telling a flat story. This author is different. She explains all the clues in great detail, but she doesn’t write anything superfluous. She also writes about all the events that happen at the same time from different perspectives.”
"Pfft," the man laughed out loud, "This is supposed to be an AVG game!"
“Yeah!” Blade laughed. “Reading novels is like watching a game livestream… Ah! It’s updated! Let me see the new chapter.”
As he looked at the blade, he suddenly laughed.
"Is Mr. Tanuki awake?" Blade asked, looking at the man who had been resting with his eyes closed.
"What's wrong?" Yu Hua opened one eye.
"Has Xiaoyu changed her hair color recently?" Blade asked a question that surprised everyone.
"She changed...right, she keeps changing after the college entrance exam."
Although it was strange, Yu Hua still answered the question about the razor blade, "We haven't seen each other for a long time, but my mom said that I recently dyed my hair white, and I look like an old person."
Blade suddenly smiled meaningfully, "Let's start the broadcast! Sister Blade is full of energy today!"
"What? You've taken a liking to Little Yu?" The man raised an eyebrow with a knowing look. "Well, you're both lesbians..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Fang came over and kicked him to the ground twice.
"That'll teach you to be so foul-mouthed! That'll teach you to talk nonsense!"
…
Yu Nan's family:
"Hey, is that cat a fishing cat?!" After seeing her new chapter, Blade messaged her privately.
"Hahaha," Zhu Yao began to dodge the question, "Novels often draw inspiration from reality."
The blade turned around and gave a dog's head.
Zhu Yao glanced at the webpage; the demo was finally downloaded.
After some twists and turns, Zhu Yao finally opened the game.
It's a pixel-style game.
The characters looked crooked and the scenery was very rough.
The first scene is a bedroom where a boy is lying in bed. His mother calls him three times to eat, but he ignores her each time.
Zhu Yao's inner thoughts: This is Yu Nan's style.
He slept from the dark dawn until daylight, and then back to darkness, before finally deigning to open the door.
"Yawn," the boy jumped up and down twice, "Mom, I'm hungry, I need food, wait, where's my house?"
Before me lay a world of strange rocks.
A line of text appeared on the screen: "Keep moving forward, there's nothing behind you."
Zhu Yao refused to believe it and went back to her room. She looked around, but there was indeed nothing there.
She opened the door.
"Yawn," the boy jumped up and down twice, "Mom, I'm hungry, I need food, wait, where's my house?"
Before me was still that world of strange rocks.
A line of text appeared on the screen: "I've said nothing, have I, Yu Miao, ever lied to anyone?"
Two options appear below.
1. Deceived
2. I haven't lied.
Zhu Yao fell silent…
Yu Nan worked herself to the bone, and this is the kind of game she wanted to make? And players still want to buy it?
I don't really understand you indie game players.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhu Yao chose to "lie".
The screen began to distort and darken, then a line of blood-red text appeared—Your distrust has broken Yu Miao's heart, and Yu Miao has decided to delete your save file.
Then, everything disappeared, and I was back to the game start screen.
Zhu Yao: What the hell is that?
I checked, and sure enough, the save file was gone.
Zhu Yao started all over again. This time, she went back and went through everything again, and then chose "I didn't lie."
The screen began to distort and darken again, then a line of blood-red text appeared—"You're too hypocritical. You keep talking about trust, but you don't listen to Yu Miao. Your distrust has broken Yu Miao's heart. Yu Miao has decided to delete your save file."
Zhu Yao: ? ? ?
Starting all over again, Zhu Yao didn't look back, but walked straight forward.
The boy encountered a scarecrow
Scarecrow: Is there anything you want to ask?
1. Why is the image so rough?
2. Why did you delete my save file just now?
3. What's going on? Where's my house?
Zhu Yao chose option 1.
Scarecrow: Because there's no funding to hire an artist, this is what Yu Miao drew herself. Doesn't it look ugly? Hahahaha, go crowdfund to help it!
Immediately afterwards, the screen began to distort and darken, and then a line of blood-red text appeared: You dislike Yu Miao's drawing, you think Yu Miao's drawing is very rough, Yu Miao is very angry and has decided to delete your save file.
Zhu Yao: ...
Is Yu Nan really this good at infuriating people?
It's reasonable to suspect that those who are expecting Yu Nan are all sycophants!
Taking a deep breath, Zhu Yao created another save file and went to the scarecrow. She chose—2. Why did you delete my save file just now?
